no time to die

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-11

orange is the present season; green is the season to be longed for

blue is what i believe in

there is no time to die now

maybe later.

a lil' break

new-found not-so-skillful skills in photography.

colourful random moments

the smelly air of pretense

i cant stand unappreciative and pretentious people; i dislike feeling cheated; and i don't believe in flaunting popularity, with the compromise of true friendship.

not everything can be important to one in life, why pretend that some things are when they clearly aren't?

but like they say, when u point a finger at others, there are 3 others pointing back at you.

time for mid-year reviews.

MAYbe, MAYbe not

it's a trap. busy-ness is self-inflicted, and mundane-ness is a choice. having a fulfilling life is not the same as having a filled life.

the month of may came and went. the past weeks passed in a flurry, as usual. mummy left and came back and i think she's accomplished a lot more than me while i was too busy being busy. i got used to my job, settled into the routine of being out from day to night (and being late for work everyday), rushing around everywhere, tiring myself out, and then suffer from lack of sleep. and then i ask, what on earth am i doing?

some time, some how, you've got to get a grip on your own life. you can't let activities take charge and dictate the flow of life. it's meaningless. in fact, after all the hectic-ness, i don't seem to even remember what was it i've done, and for what.

the last public holiday of the season passed yesterday. it was vesak day. and the day that adrian and carolyn (finally) got married. super awkward day, but it was quite enjoyable overall i guess. weddings are beautiful affairs, or meant to be. stan wanted to use the BC/AD thing for emcee-ing, but i told him that it would be more appropriate for me. haha. owellz, it was the wrong crowd for him to unleash his wit on anyway... haiz, missed the opportunity to catch up again, tho he did try to rescue me a few times from my table of more mature adults, most of whom i've never met in my life. (eh i wanted to take a pic but u left so fast- to track the weight thing you know...)

just like that, friday came and went as well. i think singaporeans can no longer live sans their phones, without feeling uncomfortable. my phone chose to die on me even before i got to work today (but after i woke up, thank God- no alarm otherwise!). i was quite anxious the whole time, waiting for kenneth to bring a nokia charger for me (which turned out to be a wrong one anyway...). but alas, when i finally recharged it at night, there were only 4 msges. i should have know that i wasn't that impt! what was i thinking...?

ok actually the only reason why i mentioned kenneth is cos i wanted to introduce the next picture, us at work. this is ken's desk, which he shares with camy. the size of that cubicle is slightly bigger than the one yaosheng and i used to share due the the absence of some annoying cupboards under the table. BUT, things have taken a turn for the better for us. Come monday, we get to shift to a room! wow! with a view and all, i think... (didn't get down to drawing the blinds today so i dunno where its facing yet, but it's a corner room so there are 2 windows!) well, we still have to share it, but at least we dun have to squeeze into 1 puny cubicle anymore... and when im gone, he'll have the whole room to himself. like some towkay! haha.

ok anyway after rambling so much, here's the pic (it was friday, so we're all rather casually dressed)


tomm's another packed day (what's new?) training at some unearthly hour, lunch with yingyi, vel and zhimin, yf, weiqing's 21st at loof (shucks what to wear!?! and the present how, flowers?)
